Expenses and Reimbursements

Rehabilitation abroad

Rehabilitation abroad is becoming increasingly popular. A pleasant environment, a healthy climate, and high-quality medical facilities make Spain — and Medifit — an attractive destination for rehabilitation.

Patients considering rehabilitation abroad often have questions such as:

  • What are the costs of rehabilitation in Spain?
  • Is treatment abroad reimbursed by my insurance, pension fund, or employer?
  • How does the administrative and insurance process work?

Below we explain how costs, reimbursement, and administrative support are organised at Medifit.

Important notice for international patients
Medifit operates as a private rehabilitation centre for international patients. We do not have direct contracts with foreign health insurance companies.

Costs and fees rehabilitation Spain

Medifit is a private medical rehabilitation centre in Spain.
This means that rehabilitation treatment is paid privately by the patient.

Possible reimbursement depends entirely on the conditions set by your:

  • health insurance company
  • pension or disability insurance
  • employer or occupational health provider

Reimbursement policies differ per country, insurer, and individual situation.

Administrative settlement

Although Medifit does not have contracts with international health insurance companies, we provide extensive administrative support to help patients with reimbursement procedures in their home country.

We assist our patients by:

  • Creating a personalised rehabilitation programme
  • Providing a detailed cost estimate or official quotation
  • Completing medical and administrative insurance forms
  • Supplying medical reports, treatment plans, and progress documentation

Many international patients successfully use this documentation to apply for partial or full reimbursement through their insurer, pension fund, or employer.

“The attention to detail is second to none. Everyone I met—from the drivers to the doctors to the physio team—was absolutely fantastic. They take care of you from start to finish.” “Recovery has been brilliant. Five days post-surgery, and I already feel stronger. The physio started immediately, and they guide you through every step. Even before I left the hospital, they had exercises planned for me. I never expected to feel this good so soon.”

Michael arrived in Moraira in a wheelchair and left with only a cane as a (temporary) support when walking. Far better than we had ever hoped for! Far better than we had ever hoped for!

My rehabilitation stay at MedifitReha in Dénia was exactly what I needed. Living with MS means dealing not only with physical limitations but also emotional challenges - and at MedifitReha, I felt supported in both areas.

The program is intensive, highly professional, and personalized. I trained for three, sometimes four hours a day, five days a week - always adapted to my capabilities. This level of intensity, care, and focus is simply not possible at home in the Netherlands. Yet it never felt overwhelming.
The team knew exactly how to challenge me in the right way.

I noticed real improvements: more strength, increased muscle mass, better balance, and most importantly - more confidence in my body. I also learned to accept certain limitations, which gave me peace of mind. After all, everyone has limitations - some due to illness, others due to age or life circumstances.

The daily hydrotherapy was particularly helpful - training in warm water allowed me to move freely and safely, without fear of falling. It was the perfect way to work on my balance and core stability. I also enjoyed the cognitive training with the VR headset - it was fun and playful, yet challenging at the same time.

Another important part of the program was the psychological support.

”The physio is intense—but unbelievable. Just a few days after surgery, I couldn’t believe how much progress I had made.”

"The rehabilitation was intensive, but the results are fantastic. Less fatigue and much more energy."

From the first moment my wife Esther arrived in Spain until the very end, she received superb care. Both physically and mentally, they worked on Esther's recovery - and with success! We haven't regretted it for a moment and would truly recommend it to everyone!

Ab , Muller

My name is Ab with years of experience with Medifit.
  • First time was October 2015 after knee prosthesis from HCB Benidorm to Benitachell: it was wonderful!
  • Second time January 2018: was for back surgery at HCB and another stay in Benitachell!
  • Third time August 2021 after my wife's long admission to HCB, 2 months rehabilitation in Moraira / Benitachell.
  • Fourth time and hopefully the last time! November 2023 for a hip prosthesis in the new HCB Denia and since November 6th rehabilitating at Hotel Danyia in Denia with Medifit.
In my opinion, the best formula for rehabilitation so far! Amazing help from Ray with transport from the hospital. Nothing seems too much for him, and that's been true all these years (I've known him since 2015). Very kind help from him and the Medifit ladies upon arrival. Everything is considered to make you as comfortable as possible. Being able to get food independently is a huge improvement. Help if needed from Medifit also on-site five days a week. Physical therapy that is very personal and patient, but also experienced - I find it wonderful and professional. To conclude, I think Medifit with this formula (four days admission for hip or knee surgery) and then 3 weeks of rehabilitation in a beautiful location with absolutely everything you need, has succeeded in thinking about the person behind the patient... Bravo... Bravo... Bravo! With my thanks to the amazing team at Medifit, I now conclude and wish all new patients for hip or knee prostheses this wonderful experience, despite the initial discomfort (which is just part of the process). Kind regards, Ab

I felt very comfortable thanks to the kind and caring therapists. I also stayed in a beautiful apartment where I could relax. These 6 weeks have made me much stronger and more confident.

Medifit, a rehabilitation center where you get the care you need. A great team, Anna, Gerard, Marjolein, Maria, Jef, and Monique. These people give you a boost of positive vitamins. I have made great progress, recommended for anyone who needs care. Thank you! Much love and health to all of you.

Janine , Vorstenbosch

What an amazing experience it was and it brought me a lot. 8 weeks of rehabilitation both physically and mentally. In the setting of a very nice care hotel, where I really lacked nothing. Where I could relax in addition to the daily exercise and training. A bonus was meeting fellow sufferers. Many beautiful conversations in the evening on the terrace.

Your organization and treatment center is not only distinguished by its medical knowledge, but above all by the dedication and inspiring support of the extremely experienced employees.

Karin , Takes

Wauwww surely proud of myself but especially of all of you. The warm feeling when I think back I keep holding on to. Courage, strength, confidence and zest for life all fantastic gifts I was able to receive from your top team....

Nanda, The Netherlands

Really, what a fantastic rehabilitation center! Just got back 2.5 weeks after hip surgery. What a professional and lovely beautiful people! Highly recommended for anyone who gets "no" aftercare here, I recommend: go to Spain and Medifit ... health insurers reimburse this. Fantastic team!!

"I felt heard and understood from day one. Now I can go grocery shopping and hiking with my partner by myself again."

Thomas, Ireland

“The hospital is immaculate, the Medifit staff are outstanding, and the overall treatment is better than anything I’ve experienced back home.”
Jos Jansen - Patient Meditit Reha

Jos Jansen, The Netherlands

I trained intensively with the therapists for 8 weeks. As a result, I now have much more endurance. I also feel much better. The healthy air at the Costa Blanca has also helped significantly.

Bert, Huizingh

To everyone who contributed to my recovery: for that I am very grateful. The enthusiasm and passion for the profession are bursting forth. Added to that the personal attention and your eye for the circumstances from day to day make me feel I have to leave some friends behind. So hereby special thanks to Ana, José, Maria, Marjolein and to you for your guidance! Should it come to further (medical) treatment/rehabilitation of the deficiencies in my left foot that you have identified, I will certainly do my best to return under the wings of Medifit!

Armand , Herzberg

By tailoring the training to my needs and applying a customized approach, I found the rehabilitation to be effective.
